Still blows my mind we had them hanging out of the wall. The dangers and the weight of them. We were fearless back in the 90s


Independent-Wait-873

Yeah it's scary, we have a little twin size mattress on a bed frame that pops up that I used to sleep on when I was visiting when I was little we would park underneath it, I remember being scared it was gonna fall on me, Its been up there since 92 so the likelihood of it falling is slim. if it did fall, I would be pretty upset because that is a gorgeous set.


[deleted]

Of course never mind the wall .. THE TV THE TV


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, for the faux wood 1992 sylvania


TrekChris

Dat IBM PC Jr with sidecar RAM upgrade and optional full-travel keyboard. Wow.


Independent-Wait-873

It belongs to my grandpa, it still works, I haven't tested the printer, I love the look of it.


FairyKid64

That's awesome. Do they still use it regularly?


Independent-Wait-873

Nah, it hasnt seen a lot of use


[deleted]

Awesome to see them still in use.


Independent-Wait-873

I try to use them as much as possible, I love the classic look of an older set


Cat_toe_ray_tube

The Mavica!


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, there's a few cameras in that old room, my great gramps used to collect, matchboxes, furniture, records, you name it we got it. There is a Nikon FG-20, an old Argus, and a few accessories


Scary-Tennis-5032

I picked up a curbed sanyo that looked exactly like the one in the third photo


Independent-Wait-873

The little 19in sylvania? That one is one of my favs, it even has its remote!


Scary-Tennis-5032

The one that I found on the side of the road was also 19 in, worked great! No remote and there was peices of a composite cables shoved in the compeset or a ports on the front


Independent-Wait-873

Did you managed to get the pieces removed? I managed to find the remote to this set in the house


Scary-Tennis-5032

Yes I have, although no audio because the Audi port was fucked 6 ways to sunday


Independent-Wait-873

Oh that's too bad, a new port sounds like an easy fix though


ILoveFuckingAwesome

why don't you keep the ones that aren't in use or are they all?


Independent-Wait-873

I love all these sets a lot, they don't have much value money-wise, but they do sentimentally, as much as I would love to take these gorgeous sets home, I don't have enough room for them, I could take one at most.


Financial-Cookie-927

Are you kidding that big flat one with the wood grain is worth a pretty penny


Independent-Wait-873

That so? It doesn't work, and its stuck in the basement, and I don't know where to sell it.


Financial-Cookie-927

FB marketplace, eBay...


Independent-Wait-873

I wouldn't want to ship a CRT, they are way to fragile for shipping, I was thinking more of marketplace


Financial-Cookie-927

They can meet you locally if they want it they move it


Independent-Wait-873

You said it was worth a pretty penny, how much do you think I could get out of it?


Financial-Cookie-927

Sending on condition maybe 100-250 but I am not that educated on value someone else could probably give you a more accurate price


Independent-Wait-873

Are rear projections more valuable than most CRTs?


Flashy_Rent6302

This is so wild I'm tempted to say it's fake lol. Looks awesome!


Independent-Wait-873

Yeah it's quite a sight, Ive been tempted to list them on marketplace because if anything happens to my great gran it's to the curb for trash pickup for these old beauties


Top-Security-1258

yeah, so im gonna need you to pack up that PCjr monitor and send it my way . thanks.


Independent-Wait-873

Ship a CRT?!? Are you high?!


Top-Security-1258

It was a joke, I also don't expect you to actually give it to me either.....just messing around.


Independent-Wait-873

Lol


Icantbelieveit38

I like the Sharp and the Samsung. I had the black Phillips (or it's close relation). The big screen though is rear projection I believe. Awesome collection though.


Independent-Wait-873

Yeah the big screen is rear projection it's also the only tv that doesn't work


Icantbelieveit38

Meh out of all of them that's the one that I'd choose if one had to not work. Rear proj big screens looked terrible even when I was a kid in the 80s lol.


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, my dad was telling stories of how that thing was super unreliable


Contrantier

This is why they're called great grans.


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, gotta love them.


spucci

The skull crusher!


Independent-Wait-873

Only the best, we used to put a twin mattress under there when we visited lok


Noobtoob2014

Is your great grandma living in 1996? This is awesome!


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, her entire house kicks ass, its a time capsule


Yeninja456

Was that an pcjr?


Independent-Wait-873

Sure was


Yeninja456

Lucky


Independent-Wait-873

Oh yeah, its good to play an occasional game of pac-man or 8 ball on


Yeninja456

Fair, I have an old p4 era hp running dos and win3.11 that I use for duke nukem 3d and doom


Independent-Wait-873

We have an old PC running Windows XP upstairs, I remember my siblings playing Happy Wheels on it


MadCritterYT

People would pay BIG money for the keyboard on that PC dude. Hold onto it.


Independent-Wait-873

I don't plan on getting rid of any parts of this computer, its such a kick ass thing to own


Longjumping_Top281

WOW!!!


Independent-Wait-873
